it.

What I have read is not right. The teacher thought wrongly. My Tommy is not stupid. He can learn
well. I think he is perfect in everything. He has no learning problems. There might me something wrong at
school. The teacher has not understood Tommy well. I should get Tommy out of the school. If he stays at
school, he will not learn anything. I have to teach him at home. When I know how to teach, why should I send
him to school. I should go to school tomorrow and talk to the teacher. I should discuss with the teacher why
did the teacher send Tommy out of school.

the floor , swabbing the house ,mopping the clothes and drawing the muggulu, I had never thought of my
name . I had lived almost like a machine. I must thank Pramila for calling me by name. Calling me by name,
she breathed new life in to me . Today onwards I will think of myself, instead of dedicating my whole life
only for the sake of my family . I have learnt a godless on that domestic chores are only a part of one’s life,
not life itself .Hereafter, I will make singing, painting and entertainment my pastimes .I will correspond with

Today is a very exciting day in my life. I met Satyajit Ray, an ultimate film maker of India, at his
residence. What a gigantic personality he is physically and intellectually! He looked shy, cold, aloof and
intimidating. But he is really a simple and unassuming man with a subtle sense of humour. He invited
me cordially , though he spokeless . He is a matchless scriptwriter and storyteller. I could have a
worthwhile dialogue with him. It was all possible because of my long wait to know more about this
living museum piece. I will be in touch with this living legend throughout my life.

very humiliated. Sastry looked utterly down cast when he saw Kalam shifting to the last row. All of
us were shocked at what we saw. Tears rolled down my cheeks when I saw Kalam and Sastry
weeping. I became angry at what the teacher had done in the class. The new teacher should not
have done like that. As a teacher he should not have showed religious intolerance. In fact, all my
class mates and friends don’t have any religious intolerance. We don’t have any differences among
us based on our social back ground. I hope some parent would come to school tomorrow to talk to

are the stepping stones to success “ on the occasion of a motivational meeting in your school. Write
a script for your speech.
Dear friends,
I feel happy to be here before you to give a brief speech on this occation. You need to

go under depression when you face failures in life.
Failures usually come in our daily life. They are always a part of all successful stories.
People like Abraham Lincoln, Lee De Forest, Wright Brother, Thomas Edison and Henry Ford faced
failures in their life. But they did not lose heart. Many people stop their efforts in their goals when
they happen to face failures. But great and successful people do not stop their efforts when they
face failures. They learn good lessons from their failures. They use their failures as the stepping
stones in their work. They do not go under depression. They continue their work with the same hope
and determination and dedication. They do not think of their failures. Thank
you for giving me this opportunity.

tiger. How can I make the villagers believe that I have nothing to do with the tiger? I don’t want to

1. Doing some work that involves physical labour
2. Dress/fashion
3. Family relationships
4. Giving respect to elders
5. The treatment of illiterate people
Education should have positive effects on individuals and on society. But, now-a-days, it has
some adverse effects on youth .Youth are proud of their education or their white-collar jobs. They often
think of their fashions or dresses ignoring physical labour and orthodox ways of living. They ridicule the
rural ways of living and culture. They feel that it an insult for them to live in villages and to do physical
labour. So they don’t maintain good relationships with their families. They give least respect to their
47
elders and ignore their good advice. They feel that what they do is always right . They try to cheat poor
illiterate villagers. We sometimes read news of educated youth resorting to chain snatching and white-
collar offences. The adverse effects of education will continue unless education provides room for
cultural, moral and ethical values. So ,education must teach youth dignity of labour. .You have learnt
about the success stories of some great people in the world. None of them was born with a silver spoon
in their mouth. They took advantage of their failures and became successful, Now write a script for
speech to presentation the occasion of the Youth Festival day to be celebrated in your school.

workshop. This is exactly true of our youth. We are the back bone of this nation. Some should work hard to
come out with success in our lives. All the same time. We should not for the failures are a part and parcel
for success. We should overcome our failures with determination, dedication and discipline. Swami
Vivekananda and said . Try again and again until you get success, stop not to till our goal is achieved.
Lincoln, Thomas Alva Edison, wright Brothers faced many failures before they achieved success. They paved
their failures as stepping stones to success. So my dear friends, don’t get disheartened in times of failures.
Face them continue with your efforts and finally you will be the victors.

SPEECH BETWEEN OLDEN TIMES AND THE MODERN DAYS
My dear friends,
Good morning. Today our English teacher explained ‘Once Upon a Time, A realistic and eye-
opening poem. It mirrors how people changed with the passage of time .I do agree to the views of
the poet .I hope ,you too \.People in the past used to laugh heartily ,not artificially or hypocritically.
They used to shake hands wholeheartedly . Now people shake hands mechanically without showing
any emotions. They utter words like ‘feel at home ’,‘come again ’only from the tip ofwww.tlm4all.com
their tongues
.They say ‘goodbye’ to their visitors feeling ‘good riddance.’ They change their faces just like they
change dresses. Their ice-block-cold eyes and conforming smiles do not express any warmth .They
have become self centred rather than other-centred. In the lesson ‘The Dear Departed’ also we have
seen how Abel’s own daughters craved for his property. Hence, my dear friends, learn a lesson from
this poem and develop friendly relationships with your friends, neighbours and relations. This will
promote human relationships as well as human values.

It pains me much when I hear the adverse comments on Ray’s films. I don’t understand why the
critics target Ray. No doubt, Ray is a giant in the Indian film industry. His films are highly qualitative and
didactic. When most of the Indians are poor, what is wrong with Ray’s depicting poverty in his films ? India
may be poor materially . But, the spiritual poverty of the West is much more deplorable than the material
poverty of India. I must standby Mr. Ray in this matter. Undoubtedly, Ray’s films such as The Apu Trilogy
are ultimate in Indian film making. In fact, I have learnt a lot from Mr. Satyajit Ray.

‘MayaBazar was adjudged as the best film in the history of the Indian cinema. The credit goes to the
producers of the film, NagiReddy and Chakrapani and to the director ,Mr .K.V. Reddy. The film is really
match less in terms of action, play back singing ,choreography ,make-up and music. It mirrors the Telugu
culture , language and customs. Even today we identify the characters of the film with someone around us.
The comedy scenes are hilarious and are simply superb. New words such as ‘Talpam - Gilpam’, and
‘Asamadiyulu -Tasamadiyulu’ were used in the film. They have become a part of our language. Introduction

root cause of all our problems such as short age of rainfall, changes in the rain fall patterns and shortage of

drinking water and food. It is sad that our government is giving priority to grow exotic plants which spoil the
fertility of soil and reduce the ground water level . The rivers have started drying up. Many of the farmer-
friendly creatures such as earth worms , snails and some bird species have almost disappeared. All these
things have caused irreparable damage to our environment. So, it’s high time you opened your eyes. Please

poisonous chemicals. I don’t understand why the head of the village has permitted the trucks to dump the

drums here. My observation says that the drums are brought from Italy. The chemicals that fall from the

Kumari. Our festivals, art, literature and music bind us together. Even though we have twenty two officially
recognized languages and over one hundred and fifty dialects, we all understand either Hindi or English. Our
scriptures are the store houses of our religious wisdom. The materialistic progress of the West is no match
